The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Vegetable & Tuna Stew Canned Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your cat’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function with proven nutrition developed by nutritionists and veterinarians.
- Stimulates appetite and increases caloric intake, and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

The big switch
By Donna on Feb 13, 2021
I thought it would be a rough transition for my cat from her regular food to this prescription diet food but I was so wrong. I first watched a video on chewy’s website on how to switch foods. Once I placed the new food down there was no going back. She loved it. Wouldn’t even go near her old food. I originally got her the tuna flavor but took my chances and ordered the chicken a few days later and she loved that too. Whatever they put in the food to attract the appetite sure works. Couldn’t be happier.

Picky cats LOVE
By Kelly on Jan 25, 2021
I got this flavor from Chewy because it’s on backorder at all vets. I have two 19 year old babies. They absolutely hate the K/D chicken and veggie stew and hate the K/D Early Support as well. They literally will take one smell of it and avoid it like the plague. (even my cat that literally eats everything and is not picky at all.) They absolutely love this flavor though! Even the super picky one loves it! They go crazy for it. I’m so glad they like at least one of the K/Ds! I will continue to order this one and rotate it with the Royal Canin renal foods so they don’t get sick of it.

My cats love it!
By Cali on Feb 19, 2021
My Georgie needs to be on a kidney diet now and I started with the chicken pate, which he would eat, but never as enthusiastically as the tuna. I ordered the tuna and veggie stew and added it to the chicken pate at first and he devoured it. I started mixing the stew with the tuna pate and he licks the bowl clean every time. So far, so good! Here's so a long, long life for Georgie!

Kidney formula
By Rebekah on Jan 29, 2021
So far this has been my cats favorite kidney friendly food. We tried the bigger cans of chicken pate first because it was more budget-friendly. He likes it for the first week then got sick of it. The smaller cans are a bit pricier but it's been 3 weeks and he's still enjoying. I've noticed a huge difference in his health since switching to the kidney friendly food, in my opinion it's well worth the extra price to have him healthy.

Recommended by my Veterinarian
By Harry on Jan 11, 2021
My cat was looking ill so we took her to the vet and they discovered her kidneys were hard and swollen. We were told she had kidney disease and the prognosis was very grim; my vet told us she would not survive very much longer. He recommended Hill's k/d diet and so we tried the dry kibble but she didn't want it so we returned to the vet and bought a case of the chicken stew flavor and took it home and she loved it. She began showing improvements and has made a remarkable recovery, that was over 2 years ago and she's alive and well today. She loves Tuna so we switched to the k/d tuna stew and she loves it too. During the pandemic we weren't able to go to our vet, so we ran out of it and she immediately My cat was looking ill so we took her to the vet and they discovered her kidneys were hard and swollen.

Grandma didnt like the tuna
By pageypie on Jan 26, 2021
I recently found out my 12 year old cat has early stage kidney disease which is very sad so my vet told me to buy the prescription k/d food which is expensive but for her I will buy it. I first tried the chicken kind which Grandma really liked for a while but seemed bored with the same food so I thought we could try the tuna, but she doesnt like it. The food is very good and seems to help her but it is difficult to afford so make sure your kitty wil really like the flavour you buy !

Cat loves this!
By Je21 on Feb 23, 2021
We have an older cat with kidney issues and the vet recommended this. I first tried the chicken and vegetable stew and he wasn't thrilled, but he really likes the tuna and vegetable stew. It also doesn't have a super strong cat food smell. Ordering and shipping are seamless. Satisfied cat and customer!

Cat not a Fan
By catlover53 on Feb 21, 2021
Unfortunately, I bought this brand/type because my cat needs prescription wet food, but he refuses to eat this one. He hadn’t even eaten anything all day and he refused to eat it. I don’t know if it’s because of the fillers or what but I feel like I wasted money on expensive food that he won’t even use.

Good stuff.
By KaWo on Jan 25, 2021
My 16 yo cat only eats what he likes, and he rarely goes after food whole heartedly. He LOVES this food. The fact that he really likes something that is good for his health is a huge plus. I'm not sure how he'd react to the other "flavors." The only thing that might improve the texture for my cat is making it a puree without changing anything else. I have to mash it with water for him, because he prefers puree.

Who Knew Meds Could Be So Delicious?
By magillilnb on Jan 21, 2021
I was concerned that my very picky kitty would not want to eat the kidney diet food my vet prescribed. Chetty usually eats a few bites of whatever I serve him and then he's no longer interested. He won't go back to it. But as soon as I started serving him this Kidney Care food (both chicken and tuna) he's been cleaning the bowl. I am amazed and grateful, because it's not cheap and he needs to be on it the rest of his nine lives.
